A wonderful restaurant for a family reunion. Had a wonderful meal and great appetizers, waitress did a wonderful job. I would suggest this restaurant.

Heard that they serve prime rib on Tues & Thurs. Called for Tues but told not starting prime rib dinners until Thurs. Debbie called me back about ten minutes later and said they had a "Board" meeting and would make prime rib on Tues if I wanted that night for dinner. Prime rib was excellent. Cooked a perfect med-rare and... More

As opposed to most crab cakes at restaurants in Bar Harbor, the crab cakes are actually mostly crab, and great crab at that! The salmon was superb, as was the baked stuffed haddock. The bread is...

The restaurant is informal, but pleasant. As you enter the place, you will see many humorous signs posted on the wall. The Chicken Marsala was excellent - the Marsala sauce phenomenal. The Haddock Piccata was decent, fresh, but slightly bitter, as they cooked the fish with lemon chunks, including the lemon rind. Capers also add to the pungent bold lemony... More
